Location - Limerick

Limerick is a thriving, modern city and the capital of Ireland's Mid West Region.

It has a sizeable student population and offers a variety of historical, artistic and theatrical activities. In addition the University Concert Hall offers a range of classical, folk and popular music concerts throughout the year.
